Meteora

The Metéora (Greek: Μετέωρα, "suspended rocks", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above") is one of the largest and most important complex of monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Peneios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The Metéora is home to six monasteries and is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List

Hi Danos,absolutely fantastic this monastery on the top of this big rock! I never been there and the Meteora's trip is one of my dreams,your pic is very useful,interesting and very well done,i like it! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

This is amazing!
Can you imagine trying to build on this high, narrow strip of rock! Certainly they were very determined!
It's a fine photograph, giving a good impression of the location as well as the monastery itself.

Almost not to believe how the workers formerly have built his castle high on the rock.
You did a fantastic job with the exposure.
Taken with high quality and sharpness.
Also a lovely panorama view in background.
Very well composition, nice presentation too.
Nice done, TFS.

Hello Danos,
An excellent photo of this famous and magnificent place, where the buildings seem to be growing straight out of the rock. It's a very well exposed photo with superb light and sharpness.
Best regards,
Gert

It is amazing to see and think how this was built, Danos, an idea to enforce fortification and maybe for more of an isolated sanctuary.
View upwards superbly appears from the slop up to the pavillion atop.

Hi Danos, This monasteries seem crafted from a mountain. Great composition. The best part is the inclusion of the bottom part of the mountain had given the viewer a sense of height of this architecture. Nice light and details. Thank for sharing

Hi Danos
It is wonder how they built these structures atop such high places. Just the sheer effort at getting the materials up there is mind boggling. The size of those monoliths shows the scale of this incredible monastery which you've captured beautifully, Congrats.
Best regards

Dear Danos
excellent photo of the famous mateore, one of the most celebrated of the Greek mainland.The beauty of the composition is associated not only that of the subject, but also the technical perfection of the recovery that is to be enhanced by a diffused light. take care

Hello Danos,
This is a great shot of this monastery that seems to grow out of the rock. The upward view gives us a nice perspective for the scene. The lighting is fine and the photo has excellent color and sharpness.

Hi Danos.
Spectacular and wonderful, this monastery image, which seems to be balanced on the rock, the truth that this region is a true marvel, I go with little time and not get to enjoy it as wished.
Very good color that gives a great attraction to the image.
Magnificent management, both brightness, and sharpness.
Very well done. I like it.
Have a good weekend.
Best wishes.

Hello Danos,
It's winter in Meteora but some trees on the foreground are still dressed in their autumn colours.
Meteora is one of those magical places on earth, showing a wonderful combination of secluded monasteries and their construction on spectacular locations.
Beautiful presentation.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Danos,
Fabulous view up to the rocks and the monastery on the top of it.
Excellent photo with nicely balanced colors, perfect light, very good clarity and splendid details.
Also the choice of the cropping suits the shape of the subject and its surroundings.
Nicely done.
Wish you a nice Sunday.
Greetings MIRO

I only got to visit 3 of the 6 surviving Meteora monasteries so am saving the other 3 for another visit. Will get a taxi up there next time. Did not see a single public bus despite assurances that they went every hour. This looks like the first monastery at the bottom of the hill which I did visit. Good sharpness and amazing location and landscape of the buildings perched atop the granite rocks. Tfs!

Hello Danos,
Great picture of a fascinating place. We've often seen pictures of this monastery, but it's nice to see it again, so nicely captured in your shot. One can feel the height in this one. Well composed with beautiful colours and good handling of light also. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Danos
What a beautiful place, it seems like the monastery has grown from the rock organically and fits in so well in its landscape. A really magical sight and once again a place I am really happy to learns about from your image and note.
Thanks again

Geia sou Danos
I see a mighty cloister that appears being 'carved' directly on one the giant pillars that 'keep the Heaven from falling on Earth'!
Do monks up-there live a better community life than on the ground, that is the question!
Anyways, they breathe fresher air, while being deprived of terrestrial futile distractions while praying or watching
football on tv (I notice the antenna by the tower bell)!
You show with fine details the best of an historic voluntary jail that mystifies visitors and composes attractive pictures, as yours.
Se xereto.

An incredible view of the monastery, and the view from there must also be wonderful! Very nice architecture of the building merging with this beautiful rock formation! Perfect POV to show it, and great colors too! Excellent job!

Well, Danos. This place also is very familiar for me as you know. Meteora is one of the most wonderful places in the world, impressive heritage of the monks.
Superb! I like this view too. TFS!
